The 5-story multi-use building, constructed in 2015, has 121 apartments (a mix of 1–5-bedroom units) and amenities. There are three commercial spaces totaling 6,000 SF on the ground floor fronting Illinois Ave., which is the primary corridor in the Downtown area.

The site is within walking distance from Southern Illinois University (SIU), the city’s largest employer and economic driver. The corridor features high vehicle and foot traffic, with nearby dining, retail, and service businesses—including adjacency to Insomnia Cookies, a well-known student-oriented retailer.
